that fixed it CHEERS! ty Tankbuster...... spent 3 hours yesterday just getting the initial to work on my server and completely spaced initplayerlocal..... thank you!

Thank you still new to scripting and event handleing. will try that out later tonight. thanks for the help!

I have finally gotten the briefing working on my server for useful info such as rules and mission specific assets and stuff, however everytime a player respawns it keeps doubling just the server rules section for Player rules and Zeus rules. on initial spawn select its there once as it should be on intial spawn it's in there twice and every time a player respawns it adds another set of the player and zeus rules but it isn't doing it to any other diary entry. here is the briefing.sqf i am calling from init.sqf Briefing.sqf // since we're working with the player object here, make sure it exists waitUntil { !isNil {player} }; waitUntil { player == player }; switch (side player) do { case WEST: // BLUFOR briefing goes here { player creatediarysubject ["rules","Server Rules"]; player creatediarysubject ["revive","Reviving"]; player creatediarysubject ["assets","Zeus Assets"]; player creatediarysubject ["protection","Safe Zones"]; player createDiaryRecord["rules", ["Zeus Rules", "As Zeus/Moderator it is your job to control the missions and the flow of missions in a fair and reasonable manner. Weather you are a (Veteran) to Zeus or you are (New) to Zeus here are a few basic rules and guidlines to being a good Zeus/Moderator. <br/><br/>1. Make interesting missions, nobody likes bland and meaningless scenarios as that is what invade and annex is for, Give them an objective and story as to why they are there and what there goal is. <br/><br/>2. Find a balance in challenge. If you find players are completing things too easily , add more of a challenge but don't make it unbeatable or unreasonable. Be fair and think while putting yourelf in the players shoes. <br/><br/> 3. Don't just spawn units on top of players or next to them. Best method I have found is make reinforcement units and fly them in or have them drive in out of view as it adds a level of immersion and realism. <br/><br/>4. Set realistic limits on youself such as , Limit the number of reinforcments you have to send in, limit your units on what they can realisticly see or call in to a nearby unit. Nobody likes a unit magically running halfway across the map to target a specific group so think realisticly. <br/><br/>5. The Moderator's job is just that, to MODERATE the flow of the mission and lend assistance to the Zeus as well as be HQ for the ground forces. You are a MODERATOR not the ZEUS! <br/><br/>6. Last but not least......(SIGH)... Don't just drop random mortars and bombs on players.... have an actual mortar pit or artillery on the map for players to get rid of. A good Zeus uses fire support reasonibly such as , Getting a unit to move up or reposition by dropping a few shells NEAR them, Scenario flow as well as Immersion and realism.

the way i do it is make a new respawn, set it to civilians only and can be seen by civilians only and set the variable name as respawn_logic and it works

nvm wrong post delete this comment

Script version......

for the most part seems to be working ok however have had at least 1 error.........see below

AHHHHHHH....... knew it was something minor or stupid on my part....... on a different note i found a bug....... AI in players squad randomly stop responding to orders or moving at any given moment......... thought it was due to vcom ai script i was running but i disabled it completly and only script i am running at all is your wounding script and having the issue of al lthe sudden random ai in my squad just stop moving and refuse to budge or do anything no matter how many times i tell them to move, regroup, stop, mount up...... just random breaking. and now getting these kinds of errors after a couple revives and losing the option to revive.

any idea on why mine isn't working at all? I even tried downloading someone elses mission file that is working for the most part and not throwing those errors and copied their version of the script but i am still getting the same exact errors in my mission....... is there a setting i am missing somewhere or something?

i am new to scripting in arma 3 but learning fast..... i cannot for the life of me get this script to work..... i have everything setup right but when i try to run it in a single player mission or even MP with ai i get both these errors and i die instantly and nothing works. on mission load i get this and on killing an AI i get this and when i die same error happens on show hud restore kits (2nd image) and i go to instant death............what am i doing wrong here or how do i fix this.
